Jellyfish alert in Vienna waters: is it dangerous?

The article discusses the recent increase in jellyfish populations in the Neue Donau in Vienna, Austria, attributed to high temperatures and good water quality. Experts, including Gerald Loew from the city's Department 45, describe this phenomenon as a positive sign of clean water and attribute it to both improved water quality and climate change. Loew emphasizes that these freshwater jellyfish are harmless, noting they have weak stinging cells that cannot penetrate human skin. He reassures the public that there is no cause for alarm, explaining that the jellyfish are only present during specific conditions and typically disappear once temperatures drop. The article highlights the seasonal nature of the phenomenon and notes that while these jellyfish are not native to Austria, their appearance in other areas of the Danube is possible.
